Hugh Grant has never been a big advocate for marriage. During a 2016 interview with Howard Stern, the actor made his thoughts on the subject clear. "I think there's something unromantic about marriage. You're closing yourself off," Grant stated (via People). However, just two years later he married Anna Eberstein. The couple has been involved for nearly a decade, and, after welcoming three children together, they opted to tie the knot. Grant revealed to USA Today that one of the biggest reasons behind their marriage was to make travel easier. "I didn't like going through immigration into countries where they'd say, 'Everyone with a Grant passport, over here, and all the others through there.' She went through with the nannies. That seemed all wrong," Grant admitted.
Although he's a married man now, Grant's position on marriage hasn't swayed much. However, he's managed to find a partner who shares his views. Grant reveals that Eberstein has similar thoughts about commitment. "My wife agrees with me that marriage is a pretty preposterous social construct. But when you've got three children, it's the nice thing to do," he said (via USA Today). However, when it comes to fatherhood, it's a different story, per Hello! "It's just lovely to have all that love around. Suddenly you love someone more than yourself. It's unheard of in my case and they love you and it's all enchanting," Grant said during a 2018 interview.
